It will be 145m and 45 stories it will sit beside Skyline Apartments (160m) (and hopefully help made the admiralty district look.. better)

Will also make it onto the top 10 list i believe.


(Created a new thread because the old one went missing and the other one i made was needing to be renamed but i always get ignored. simple solution was a new thread)

I must say I'm already against this development, purely because of the image on the official website. I want to see a render, not some guy naked in the bath with a suggestive grin on his face.

Alright so it'll probably work for some of you.

Blend - is Domaine the white building? If so where's Skyline.

I was thinking that. I Guess these guys arent forward thinking enough to include it.

whats weird is that it looks to be in skylines position.

Im pretty sure skyline will block its view of the river tho..

I can't quite visualise this ones location.

Skyline tower is just out of pic.its between Riverplace and Admialty quays.
The Domaine is between Admialty tower1 and Admialtty Quays. makes sense?

heres a diagram i posted in skyline thread.

i understand now. nice work cul

Cool another. That side of town might start looking a little strange though will all the new towers. Is skyline apartments going to begin next week?

I'm absolutely stunned (if not incredibly jealous) by Brisbane's progress. You guys must be having the time of your lives right now.

The best part is that the quality of most of the proposed developments is excellent, which makes sense, given the likely competitiveness in the Brisbane market.

An honest question though, as I'm not fully up on just how much Brisbane is booming - how are all of these new towers, both residential and commercial, going to be substantially filled out?

Given that your population is not that much bigger than Adelaide or Perth's, it would amaze me if your market is big enough to facilitate the proposals/developments.

I must obviously be wrong, as no doubt, developers won't present anything to the market that they don't feel will generate enough of a return to satisfy their bankers, but where are all these buyers and tenants coming or going to come from?

apartments are being bought up as soon as their released, and ive read that it isnt slowing down any time soon. Theres big demand for inner city living.

As for office, im not sure. There isnt too much office going up compared to resi. (Bsquare, Bottom of vision, some of riparian) So i guess the demands there for that. Bsquare is already got tenants.

There was an article only yesterday in the Courier Mail saying that Brisbane’s growing apartment market is growing really only because of owner-occupiers, with investors mostly unwilling to commit. Supposedly, the September quarter was the best yet for apartment sales even with the lack of interstate investment and the strong growth last year. I think a lot of people are starting to see the benefit of either city living or inner-city living. My own area (around southbank, west end, highgate hill) is still growing, with more projects appearing every month.

I like this project, and hope that it will drag up the area a bit…

out of all the cap cities in oz, Brisbanes office market is the healthiest 6% vacancy rate.?

The websites been updated
www.thedomaine.com.au

still no renders that i could find.

the site (signage up)
http://img32.exs.cx/img32/3130/l9cdomaine.jpg

you can see skyline's site on the right of the pic

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v499/danubiis/domain1.jpg

The sidewalks will love the new developments lol

I will miss the old brick buildings.

meh, youve got the valley

Yep, and we've also got the Admiralty buildings to enjoy.

just plain weird - the site's graphic with the people holding hands, the actual tag line... what is the relevance??
and i kinda liked the old brick buildings too.. ho hum!

the relevance is that you buy an entire floor.

thats whats with most of the graphic, if u look at it its a layout for a single residence, not split into many units

the people and other crap is weird tho lol

Got an email from them today. a Render!

Wow, nice one :D

the building looks great, that green glass will compliment the current skyline well, but it looks kinda funny sticking out from the admirality district. It would be awesome to have seen this building on the casino towers site :D

Clearly not as significant and imposing as Adelaide's "Domain":

http://www.hines.com.au/domain/images/3dfront.jpg

;) :(

In the latest render that you received by e-mail Malt, even though it's a beautiful one, looks way taller than 145m/476ft. Taking into consideration that Admiralty Towers II is 126m/413ft (the scraper on the left hand side in the render on the left). Have to take into account the perspective too, as Domaine is setback from the Admiralty Residential Project.

I think the render on the left is way more accurate. Let's hope though that the green cladding is accurate if it goes ahead. With Bovis Lend Lease having been awarded "Preffered Builder Status", that is a major plus (for it going ahead) - Bonus!!

wow, i counted approx 50 floors! so it has to be taller then the planned 145m. ill ask them next week. i reckon its about 170m! great news for petrie bight and brissy.

i also thought it looked taller, but didnt want to say anything incase i was wrong :P.
The glass is definitly cool. Will looks great beside Skyline and Emerald.
As well as all the other petrie bight developments

Very nice....Green.

I wonder how much longer it will be until the 'public release'?

wow, i counted approx 50 floors! so it has to be taller then the planned 145m. ill ask them next week. i reckon its about 170m! great news for petrie bight and brissy.

The image enlarges well and I count 60!

i counted 53 inc plant room


Cul (Or anyone who knows): Are renders usually very accurate (in terms of height/floors)? I mean can we trust this render to mean they HAVE changed the plans?

I also got 53 (and 51, but I must have missed a couple on that count).

Theres Podium, then there is 20 single floors.

Then there are some weird floors. I dont looks like 1 normal sized, then 1 larger one, then a small, large etc...
then back to normal sized floors, and 2 2 story penhouses, then the plantoroom and roof.

so if its 60floors, that equates to 180m.. but if there shortened floors (2.85m) well then it will be 170mapprox.
either way it will be 500ft+. so its great.
malt-renders these days are pretty accurate.who are architects?

I only count about 51-53 levels as well.

Clearly not as significant and imposing as Adelaide's "Domain"

Our one also has a fancy "e" on the end of it! :tongue2:

They should have called THAT Emerald - I mean damn, that's an incredibly deep green. Great news about the apparent height increase; possibly another taller-than-Central-Plaza-One development for Brisbane!

well, ive found out Cox Rayner are architects and the person with height info is away til next week, so have to wait bit longer for new official height.
i was told its consists of 50storeys and is approx 150m. but i reckon this is what they tell public.
cant forget the little spire too! its probably 10m.
Its due to start demolishment in spring and construction to start ealry 2006.

http://img220.exs.cx/img220/973/thedomaine8so6dg.jpg

^Thatd be right. away.

lol, how come only 1 person knows the height?

^ thats what i said. i was pissed.

official height!!! 177m to spire, 163m to roof! 52 levels.
got rang back by head architect just then.
for those interested in RLs. ground is RL9m..
thus-spire= 186m or roof-Rl172m.
ill update ss.com.
cheers

:nocrook: woo yeah. thats taller than CP1. WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, 1m higher than good old Waterfront place.

great news! thanks cul

Then that makes the newer (and greener ;) ) render of course the more accurate.

So, 1m higher than good old Waterfront place.

great news! thanks cul
yes, it will appear even taller due to RL.
roofs>
Waterfront place RL=165m
Domaine RL= 172m
wow, this Petrie bight precint will be "manhattanish" in a few years.
along with Skyline and other Queen st towers it be freakish.

I cant wait...skyline...THIS!...and all the other one's peppered in between :D

Cul, can u chuck this in your Corel Brisbane top 10?

Nice, but is it really goin to be green or is it just highlighting the building. :sleepy:

very nice

Cul, can u chuck this in your Corel Brisbane top 10?
yes, ill do that asap/
cheers

Friggin awesome! I just wish Devine would say, "hey, why don't we chuck another 20 levels on our buildings!"

But this is great news for a nice looking tower.

hows that diagram comin cul?

the renders give a good indication on how tall Skyline will be.
Although skylines site is a little lower.

Probably not to scale....but more colourful than the Auscorp original...

http://images.fotopic.net/?iid=y7ufzr&outx=600&noresize=1&nostamp=1

yes, Skyline is situated at RL5m,thus RL165m, so its 7m lower then Domaines RL of 172m roof.
heres diagram with Domaine included (located next to Vision)

http://img112.exs.cx/img112/5519/qldstallest5kg.jpg

nice work.

GC looks tall.. But i like the large amount in Bris.
Hopefully that commercial boom which is coming (According to Cul) will yield something large.

Wow, hope all of these go ahead. I wish Emerald could have went ahead at it's full height.

well, ive found out Cox Rayner are architects and the person with height info is away til next week, so have to wait bit longer for new official height.
i was told its consists of 50storeys and is approx 150m. but i reckon this is what they tell public.

http://img220.exs.cx/img220/973/thedomaine8so6dg.jpg

official height!!! 177m to spire, 163m to roof! 52 levels.

Wow - where have I been??? I didn't know this tower was to be so big.

This is the first time I have been in this thread as I though it was just another small tower.
Wow!!
jt

haha. caught ya napping didnt we! ;)

yes it is pretty tall. i told architect that if Riparian or Aurora wasnt being built, Domaine would be tallest bldg in brisbane! at 177m to spire, it would be 3m higher then CP.so when completed next year, Domaine will be 2nd tallest resi in Brisbane.
thats not bad.

Im just trying to make shure, but i sorta can't make out in that diagram if the glass on domaine will be reflective?

I have something to say.
And when i say it i feel justified.
And im sure no one will be offended or disagree.
with.

HOLY. FUCKING. SHIT. GOD. DAMN.

On with the show:

TAKE THAT ADMIRALTY DISTRICT!.
This just jumped from my "cool, another tower' list to "top 3"

1. Vision
2. The Domaine
3. Aurora
4. Brisbane Square
5. Festival Towers
6. Charlotte Towers

Now that is great - oh so green and glassy.

This is exactly what Brisbane needs.
Brisbane has too much white or light coloured scrapers.
A green glass scraper will look perfect in there.

Just looking at that picture, it looks farking massive. hope it actually looks like that tho :-/

how tall is it ????????? 180 im guessing.

It's still 177m to spire/163m to roof isn't it? And ditto about the green glass - looking sensational. The best resi (built/app/prop) in Brisbane IMO. Nice work Malt - where'd you get those?

^ how good was my guess. 3m off. Im in agreement as well with the colour.. awesome building. when does it start??????????? some one tell me soon

yeah still 163m roof-177m spire. 52 levels.
guys just go to emporis for height stats. its about as current & accurate as pos.
I get all height straight from horses mouth (Architects).

Nice looking tower.

I agree with Malt's list. The Domaine looks awesome.

Oriolus - I just signed up ages ago for info...

And some woman from LJ Hooker keeps sending me stuff (same place i got the last render).

I was amazed lol. its awesome

Wow - thats quite nice! Pity about the slenderness of it as it would be great to hid the ugly backs of those admiralty towers.

Here's hopeing for more towers like this to hide admiralties ugly rear.
jt

Very nice, and different...diversity, thats what we need :D

Whoa, that's loverly! :D

Will skyline apartments block the view of the tower?

^ Half of it, from that angle it will. But still, alot more angles lol.

(love the way the domaine people dont mention Skyline will be blocking the views)

^ Half of it, from that angle it will. But still, alot more angles lol.

(love the way the domaine people dont mention Skyline will be blocking the views)
They'll still get river glimpses - in Brisbane thats an extra $100,000+.

jt

Holy. Fucking. Shit. God. Damn!

That is awesome. Domaine looks absolutely brilliant!!

This is what every resi in brisbane should be like (ok not everything exactly but they should take note)

This building still uses balconies, but at the same time it uses alot of glass. Best of both worlds.


lol chris.

Very Vancouverish.

i did this a few months back. ill have to update the Domaine diagram. hopefully tommorrow

lol chris.

Hrmm - You'd have alot of professional architects saying that the use of large amounts of glass in a city like Brisbane is putting us back 10 years in terms of urban sustainability. It might be OK for a city like Melbourne where form and not sustainability is the key factor in architecture but for Brisbane it is taking a massive step back. Our city is recognized world over as a centre for advanced sustainability and in ESD principals and it would be a shame to loose that title because of some glass skinned buildings that were 10 years behind the times.

Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love the smooth look of glass sided buildings but for our climate in Australia they are just not appropriate - and yet they still build them in other capitals :bash:

Lets just hope the glass is environmentally sound.

jt

current situation (i mght of left out some background bldgs)
http://img220.echo.cx/img220/5412/petriebightskylineexisting5wy.jpg

updated diagram. i added more bldgs to left (CP1.Pano sky ect)
http://img95.echo.cx/img95/4971/petriebightskylineproposed7gl.jpg

Nice job.

Im happy that we will have glass towering over the ugly Admiralty towers son. (549, The Domain.... Possibly the others but we havnt seen detailed renders for those. Speaking of which, Cul, in the 545 Queen St thread i asked u to email the architects for a colour render a while ago... cna u do that?)

OMG, Emerald would be perfect for balancing the skyline... what a shame.

http://img95.echo.cx/img95/4971/petriebightskylineproposed7gl.jpg

^ i agree

I was under the impression that emerald was still a possibility - albeit in a diminished form

^ That is true.
We have not heard anything for a while.
200m sounds good :)

I'm a big believer in ESD but it's hard to take the environmental high ground because I love glass so much. I just can't bring myself to advocate a Brisbane without plenty of nice glass scrapers. Besides ESD is probably fighting a losing battle anyway - why not indulge in buildings like Domaine before we bugger up the Earth completely. :)

why dont they just build the class curtain buildings in the shadows of the esd compliant buildings? then everyone wins :)

Because the sun moves across the sky.

According to Emporis, The Domaine is approved. The thread title says Proposed

^ sorry ive updated emporis but neglected our forum. im on it.
cheers

not long ago "Approved" was never something we did on here

Just since Vision, because it was like saying "YEAH LOOK WHAT WERE GETTING"

Now people insist every approved building is listed as such lol.

arnt you one of those people malt?

Nope. I only wanted Vision listed so i could say "HEY, YEAH LOOK WHAT WERE GETTING"

I dont care ahbout the others

Hey! Yeah - Look what we're getting! The Domaine! (there ya go)

Now people insist every approved building is listed as such lol.


It's good though, there is a huge difference between "proposed" and "approved".

^ yeah i dont normally indicate approved or proposed but i think there is a big difference. anyway we really like seeing the "UC" infront .lol

this is a little off topic but does anyone know whats happening with the building in the background (left) of this shot? i think its got something to do with the all all hallows school but im not sure.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v499/danubiis/domain1.jpg

thanks

I read a development application a few months back for the school, and that is most definitly whats happening.

Unfortunately I payed it little attention (Because i was searching for something else at the time)..
I will look if its still there for you......


here you go:
Main Page: http://www.ourbrisbane.com/public/DAServlet/913760
Details: http://www.ourbrisbane.com/public/DAServlet/913760?pagenumber=2

Use adobe acrobat reader (most info can be found in 'Development Plans')

so what affect does the school have on the tower? is a refurb of the school included in domaine's development?

..no. The school is not near the tower lol.

He just asked because its in the same general area (up the road)

Re-iterate, the school has absolutely nothing to do with this, or any other petrie bight tower.

I think the old building at the top of Adelaide St is being refurbished and there will be retail on the street level on Boundary St. What is happening to the vacant area closer to the river I am not sure of.

yeh, thanks for that malt.

I come baring bad news from JayT:

Bad news I'm affraid.

Aparently the 'goss' is that the developers who are
developing Domain Tower in Petrie Bight have re-submitted a
new development plan to council. The tower is now 20 stories
lower than intended:(

Well - the bottom is dropping out of the residential
apartment market. Hope this doesn't affect any other towers
but I wouldn't be surprized if it did.

Real shame but hopefully they maintain the same design - I love that green glass.

Awwww!

So we'd be looking at something more like 100m then. :(

Fuck!

Don't build it then. Thats just a waste of a perfectly good site.

too bad this couldnt have happened to an uglier building.

There IS market for the domain @ 170m

The lower end of the apartment market has dropped 60% but the upper end, has increased a shitload since last year.

:gaah: :gaah: :gaah: :gaah: :gaah: :gaah: :gaah: :gaah: :gaah: :gaah:

damn i was looking forward to some height in this area! thats f**king bullshit!

yes what a shame. i loved ts slenderness and height.

If the developers have lodged a new DA it isn't on the BCC website yet.

^ Maybe there is still hope?

CM today states that Circa is moving out in March next year as their building will be demolished - in 30 months. This may be a typo as the Cira managment have said they'll be taking bricks, floor boards and other stuff with them, with is hardly the thing to do when the building is going to be arround for another 27 months. I would think that the owners of the site would want to lease the site out with walls.

They also mentioned it being a 44 level building.

So its just going to be Offices and commercial space then, would've been good to see this one Mixed Use.

^
it's a residential tower.

Oh, It is just that what that said below was that the bottom 20 stories is dropping out of the resi Market, thought that meant that it was just an Office tower when the Units are dropped out.

I think you misunderstood..

Bottom % of the market dropped out in brisbane general

but higher end more expensive apartments (ie Vision, Domaine) are still booming, hence the confusion as to why they thought they couldnt sell.

yes, domaine is quite exclusive which has been their main selling point - 'not everybody likes to share'.

It will be interesting to see how sales of CBD apartments are going overall in this quarter, because the last set of stats that showed the giant drop in sales were damaged by the fact that they left out several city projects (including evolution and another I can't remember; not small projects by any means) and instead of a 60% fall in sales, it was more like a 30% fall when these missing projects are included. I know that sales of near-city apartments is up on the previous quarter.

What's happening with this one???

bump

See the Petrie Bight Thread

POSSIBLE HOTEL ON THIS SITE! NEED MORE INFO!

Hotel? When did this come about?

^^ will find out more soon... :)

Well let's hope it's a hotel like Rose Rotana, that's cool name btw, Rose Rotana, like outta Star Wars or something.

BTW bribri in the other thread said:
The banner on the Domaine site now says "The Macrossan". I guess they renamed it.....have they redesigned it too?

Sounds like Domaine is out, whatever is the Macrossan is in. Hopefully Macrossan is better!:)

What is the website for Domain???

i thought the macrossan was the original name of the site before they named it the domaine?

^^ Apparently there is a sign that says something about a hotel...on the current domaine site...

Whatr ever it is I hope it is at least as tall (If not taller) and just as good looking. I loved the look of Domain, I'd hate to get a tacky building there.

We need one of these on the site!!

haha, you love your langham hotel dont you svq!

Approved? Proposed? Who cares because it's actually dead! Please correct me if I'm wrong.

haha, you love your langham hotel dont you svq!

Yep! i Love my Langham's...
Approved? Proposed? Who cares because it's actually dead! Please correct me if I'm wrong.

It was dead, but now they have re-branded it...

so it's now proposed? but just look at these apartments' lack of river views once Skyline is up. Would you pay for a whole floor to look at Skyline?

Given that you get a whole floor per apartment, I would imagine that you would have windows in other directions other than looking straight at Skyline. Certainly the lower floors are not going to have the best views in town, but then this can be said for most CBD apartments.

Views of other apartments is the way of the future - enjoy what views you have while you can

I'm really dissapointed that Domaine isn't going ahead. All that shiny green glass would have looked sensational, at least if the final product was anywhere near the renders. And it was so tall and slender

:cry:

Domaine has now been scrapped and will be replaced with The Macrossan Apartments (http://skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=355794)

bye bye domaine...

:goodnight
